  1. @aka Contrarian, I respect that it's your energy to waste but turn the lemons into lemonade. Focus on the humor in this BS because there's nothing else we can do about the sh8tshow of a circus running the country. I hope the Democrats are spending some of their energy retooling for the midterms. They have a lot of work cut out for them. Always delighted whenever you decide to pop in and chop it up with us.๐Ÿค— Claiming your cataract surgery will be a breeze and you'll be fine.

  2. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/21/nx-s1-5305288/trump-fires-chairman-joint-chiefs-of-staff-charles-brown-pentagon POTUS OJ continues upholding his promise to shake up America. On cue, Joint Chiefs Chairman General Charles CQ Brown Jr. has been relieved of his duties at the Pentagon. Here's another situation where durint his 1st term, POTUS OJ made General Brown the 1st Black Joint Chief of the Air Force. POTUS Biden nominated Gen. Brown to be Joint Chiefs Chairman in 2023. In his effort to remove *woke* and DEI from American life, POTUS OJ is replacing minorities in high level positions. Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti has also been relieved of her duties as well. The current administration has been busy over the past 30 days. Surely, they realize 4 years goes by quickly. Guess they don't have any time to waste in f8cking up America. Hang on to your seats folks. This circus ride could get real bumpy.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-justice-department-cuts-database-tracking-federal-police-misconduct-2025-02-21/ POTUS OJ signed an executive order that shuts down a database that kept track of misconduct by federal law enforcement personnel. In theory, the database would make it harder for law enforcement personnel with bad records to jump from one jurisdiction to another. Interestingly, during his 1st term, POTUS OJ had the Department of Justice establish the database in the wake of George Floyd's murder. POTUS Biden implemented it. Now, POTUS OJ has turned it off. Rolling back a tracking system that now makes it easier for federal law enforcement personnel to mistreat people and face misconduct charges and still find another job elsewhere.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. I don't believe charges were brought against Mayor Adams because he's a Black man. The charges were a political hit because Mayor Adams didn't tow the Democratic party line on immigration. If Mayor Adams hadn't spoken out against NYC being a sanctuary city and just cooperated with the program, accepting those campaign contributions as they all do, would have been a non-issue. The current administration is leveraging Mayor Adams' stance on immigration to their own agenda. They'll use him as a tool. The question remains what becomes of Mayor Adams when he's no longer of use to them. Whites supremacists usually break their tools once finished with them.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. I'm not aware of any videos that provide context to the advice provided above. The game was passed down long before the internet was invented. I realize you're a literal dude. The advice applies specifically to situations where a man just wants to hit it. Building a relationship requires a different approach that includes communication and resources (time and money). However, when it comes to approaching any woman, confidence is the common denominator. Confident men finish first. A man shouldn't waste his time on a woman who isn't mutually attracted to and/or interested in him. A man being a simp never ends well for him.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Poverty leads to dysfunctional behaviors i.e. promiscuity, substance abuse, alcoholism and crime, etc. People born impoverished did not put themselves at a disadvantage. They were born into a system. Look no further than poorest countries around the planet. Greed rapes, pillages and plunders the weak. The US already hss enough weapons to destroy the world several times over. At this point, our military power is just a flex. The US can afford to take of its citizens even if it never spent another nickel on weapons. Otherwise, the US hasn't worried about being invaded in almost 100 years. The US is the strongest super power on the planet. Nope. Most white Americans have plenty weapons too.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. I'm not the dude who has to worry about it.๐Ÿ˜‰ Mainly because I've never been in the business of pushing up on transformers.๐Ÿคฃ If a *real* woman is tough enough to challenge me physically, that's awesome. We can wrestle penitentiary style. May the best win.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Right. It was always a joke. Those chickens wil be coming home to roost soon enough if the current administration has anything to do with it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. Professional career fields offer plenty opportunities for growth, movement and upward mobility. White folks can work anywhere within these 50 states and abroad too.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. Great. If there is genuine and mutual attraction between both parties...no confusion. Sure. Regardless of how the question is asked, the bottom line is to be direct. Most importantly, wait for the answer and don't interrupt.๐Ÿ˜ No beating around the bush. Don't waste time and money on unproductive dates. If a woman isn't mutually attracted, spending resources on her is about as productive as buying lottery tickets.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. The common denominator is who owns these companies. It's silly to think or believe white folks are going to take care of non-white folks equal to or better than they treat their own kind. Those BS programs are designed to level the playing field. The problem is that we live in a system of racism white supremacy. I don't see how or why we should expect these people to police themselves. Black folks need their own sh8t. Stop depending on white folks for job opportunities. Don't need affirmative action or DEI if Black folks are self-sufficient.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. This isn't the same as quitting the job at a fast food joint in protest of being told to mop the floor and take the trash outside. These people work in a career field where 2 or more jobs are waiting on them. A federal judge or prosecutor can become general counsel to a corporation. Same or higher salary. Zero political pressure. Weep not for them as they will be fine.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. The Right and Evangelical Christian community definitely won't be including the book in recommended reading material for Americans.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. Considering they want to erase slavery from American history books, that is definitely a book they would want to ban from schools.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. There will be no break down of law and order under the current administration. I believe they would call up the national guard in a nanosecond to put down a problem. Besides, white folks are most heavily armed in this country. POTUS OJ won't cause them any static. Fear and lack of organization. They don't want that smoke from those foreigners. Self-hate is very real. That bag is the great equalizer.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Human greed is the only reason poverty exists. A small fraction of the 8 billion people on the planet are liquid millionaires or richer. The US debt is trillions of dollars and growing. The US spends more money on weapons and dumb sh8t rather than provide housing, food and healthcare to every citizen. Same goes for other countries around the planet. More money is being stolen by a few to the misery of the masses.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. I was waiting on the ladles to login and answer your questions. Personally, I've had a salt & pepper goatee for a decade or so. I've been bald since the mid-1990s. I've never really been attracted to younger women so what they think of how I look hasn't mattered to me. The women who show up on my team claim they dig the mature, distinguished gentleman look. Mature women are fine with salt & pepper or gray or white hair as long as it's well groomed. Otherwise, the real color is green. All types of women find it attractive. Unless there's a reason to build some type of relationship, if all you really want to do is bed a woman, ask her directly, how much it would cost to press that snatch box. Wait for the answer. Don't interrupt. ๐Ÿ˜ So many nuggets of wisdom. RIP Honorable Neely Fuller Jr. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. DEI has a flavor similar to Affirmative Action. Same concept made necessary in a system built on white male privilege. @Pioneer1, the companies to which you've applied to could very well be hiring minorities by mandate i.e. Affirmative Action or DEI.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. Correct. The judge hasn't ruled to dismiss charges yet. Also, the charges could be revived at some point in the future. I think the judge is going to sign the order to drop charges. He's already hinted that he has very little room not to sign it. I don't believe DOJ under GOP will bring the charges against Mayor Adams back either. I also think for good measure, before POTUS OJ leaves the White House, he will pardon Mayor Adams from any future prosecution.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. What they're not telling us let's me know not too many AfroAmerican men benefited from DEI. i do believe AfroAmerican women benefited more than AfroAmerican men. Overall, I believe everybody else benefited from DEI more than AfroAmericans. I doubt we'll get the DEI receipts proving who benefited the most. Now, they're on a fast-track to restoring masculinity and white male superiority.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. Nah. I truly don't believe white nationalism will go sideways enough to make you want to leave the US. You'll be OK. Africans will definitely try to get a person to spend the bag but they're not going to take anything by force. Peaceful people for the most part. Many Africans admire AfroAmericans. Then, because of propaganda, some of them fear us believing we're killers and drug dealers.๐Ÿคฃ Keep in mind that many African countries allow all types of foreigners (Asians and Middle Easterners) to come there and set up shop. Just bring the bag. No need to give up citizenship in the home country while on permanent vacation elsewhere.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. We'll have to wait and see if Mayor Adams has any popularity left. Former governor Andrew Cuomo would go all in as a Democrat. NY seemed to rock with him. It was the allegations that forced him to resign.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. All hu(mans) have needs, wants and desires. Religion is an opiate; a form of oppression used to govern how humans go about satisfying themselves from a mental, physical and spiritual perspective. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. New York uses ranked-choice voting which means Mayor Adams has to compete with a field of candidates. It's not just blue vs red. Yet, anything is possible when it comes to spreading money around. They could pay potentially popular candidates not to run for office. That would leave only Mayor Adams as the post popular choice. However, there is talk that former NY governor Andrew Cuomo is thinking about running for mayor. If he does, it's game over for Mayor Adams.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. You should be OK. I doubt that white nationalism will go too far sideways. African countries will accept anybody who brings a bag of money. Most ex-pats claim life is sweeter outside the US. Two sides of the same coin. It won't be too much different.๐Ÿ˜Ž
